SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 736,988, dated August25, 1903.

Application filed January 9, 1963.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Beitknown that I, AARON J. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Oaps; and I dohereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact descriptionof the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a partof this specification, and to the figures of reference marked thereon,in which Figure l is a view of the cap, showing its position beforefolded and connected to the bottle. Fig. 2 is a View showing the diskportion of the cap properly connected to the head of the bottle andillustrating the attachingstrip extended. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectionof the cap, showing the same properly connected. Fig. 4. is a viewshowing the cap properly connected to a bottle.

The present invention has relation to-bottle-caps and it consists in thenovel construction hereinafter described, and particularly pointed outin the claims.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thefigures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, 1 represents the cap-disk, which ispreferably formed circular and of a size to permit the same to be placedover the head and cork of a bottle and folded underthe bead,substantially as illustrated in Fig. 2.

From the disk 1 extends the short neck 2, to which neck is joined therectangular portion 3, said rectangular portionbeing of a lengthsufficient to be Wrapped around the neck of a bottle below the beadthereof, and for the purpose of properly connecting said rectangularstrip when brought into the position illustrated in Fig. 4 one face ofsaid strip is provided with some suitable adhesive substance, so thatwhen the same is moistened it will properly hold said rectangular strip3 in proper position and bind the portion of the disk 1 over which saidstrip is wrapped.

Serial No. 138,350. (No model.)

. It will be understood that when the disk 1 is brought into theposition illustrated in Fig. 2 folds will be formed; but after therectangular strip 3 has been properly wound around said folds they willbe covered, there by furnishing a finished appearance to the cap.

It will be understood that by my peculiar arrangement advertising mattercan be placed upon the rectangular strip 3 at such a place that when itis properly wrapped it will be exposed to view and at the same timepresent a pleasing appearance owing to the neat finish of the capproper.

It will be understood that the material used for the above-described capshould be such that it can beeasilyattached to the bottle and at thesame time has sufficient strength to remain in fixed position at alltimes and under all circumstances.

Having fully described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. A bottle-cap consisting of a disk adapted to be folded upon the neckof the bottle and provided with a rectangular strip, said rectangularstrip adapted to be folded around the neck of a bottle and over thefolded portion of the disk, substantially as and for the purposespecified. l

2. The hereinsdescribed bottle-cap consisting of a disk, a rectangularstrip spaced from said disk and connected thereto, one face of saidstrip provided with an adhesive substance, substantially as and for thepurpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
